Onigashima!
Kaido surveyed the scene before him, a faint smile playing on his lips...
"Planning to take down Charlotte Linlin with just three poison gas bombs?"
"These individuals are terribly naive..."
"If you seek to vanquish the Four Emperors, such methods alone won't suffice!"
"Such naive, ignorant lads..."
From start to finish, Kaido harbored no illusions that Bege, Luffy, and their comrades could defeat Big Mom. After all, they were all Yonko, and he, more than anyone, understood Big Mom's might.
Could someone dubbed the "Natural Disaster" be felled so easily, when he himself was evenly matched with her?
Unless the world had gone mad. Meanwhile, viewers worldwide witnessing this scene were left in shock!
Never had they anticipated that those three gas bombs wouldn't even come close to the formidable woman.
Instead, they were repelled by her overwhelming force!
Indeed, Yonko weren't to be dispatched so effortlessly.
As viewers grappled with this realization, panic began to grip them. How could Luffy and the others, along with Bege and his crew, escape?
Just as doubt clouded the minds of all spectators...
The sky scene unfolded once more...
[Katakuri and numerous other cadres from various nations snapped back to reality at Big Mom's voice.]
[They advanced towards the crowd.]
[In that moment, Bege was nearly petrified with fear!]
[Without a moment's hesitation, he ushered everyone away, fleeing towards safety.]
[Their original plan, to dispatch Big Mom and utilize the mirror world for escape, lay in shambles.]
[Yet, despite the plan's failure, an escape remained plausible.]
[All they needed was to reach Caesar's held mirror within mere seconds, and freedom would be theirs.]
[They'd emerge unscathed.]
[However, a dramatic twist unfolded...]
[Just as everyone neared Caesar's mirror...]
[Big Mom's terrifying sonic waves shattered the mirror!]
[At this critical juncture, Bege and his companions found themselves utterly bewildered.]
[Big Mom is unbelievably powerful, isn't she?]
[Bege's nerves turned icy as he watched Katakuri and the others advancing step by step.]
[There's no choice but to resort to our last resort!]
[As a user of the Fortress Fruit ability, he still has one final ace up his sleeve...]
["Behemoth mode!!!"]
[Suddenly, Bege transformed into a colossal castle, towering over the landscape in an instant!]
[And within the fortress, a myriad of cannons and artillery extended outward!]
[Raining down direct fire on the advancing cadre from all nations!]
[Naturally, Luffy and his crew sought refuge within the fortress!]
[Under the onslaught of relentless firepower, Katakuri and the others were momentarily driven back!]
[But Bege alone understands that this suppression is only temporary!]
[Waiting for them to regroup could spell disaster.]
[Escape is the only option now!]
[Only Caesar, with his levitation ability, can carry himself out of here.]
[Then Luffy and the others can follow suit, escaping unscathed.]
[But before that, someone must stay behind to thwart the relentless pursuit...]
[Just as uncertainty gripped everyone, the Vinsmoke family, led by Judge, stepped forward.]
[Having been saved by Sanji moments earlier, they now fully submit.]
[The idea of them ruling over North Blue with Big Mom's power is merely wishful thinking!]
[Big Mom true intention from the start was to eliminate themselves and seize the family's advanced technology!]
[Thus, to repay Luffy and his crew for their kindness, they volunteer to stay and hold off Big Mom and her forces!]
[At this pivotal moment, Judge rallies his three sons and daughter.]
[Activating the Germa combat form without hesitation!]
[They charge forth without a backward glance.]
This display elicits excitement from the onlookers outside!
Truly, the transformation of Germa is impressive!
It appears that the Vinsmoke family is not beyond redemption.
At least in their final hour, they choose to stand in solidarity with Sanji and his allies.
Everyone heard rumors of the Vinsmoke family's powerful high-tech suits, but seeing them in action is another thing entirely.
This time, we're privileged to witness, countless marine bosses included.
They are also intrigued by the combat prowess of the Vinsmoke family.
They can't help but gaze skyward, eager for what unfolds next!
[At this moment, Judge and his cohorts don their combat gear.]
[Their mightiest abilities unleashed in full force!]
[The Vinsmoke family's advanced technology does not disappoint.]
[As they charge into battle, they showcase their formidable might!]
[In the blink of an eye, the entire cadre of all nations found themselves suppressed!]
[Even the awakening aunt was temporarily restrained by Sanji's two brothers.]
[This display of prowess instilled hope in Luffy, Bege, and the others.]
"Not sufficient!"
"Though the Vinsmoke family's combat prowess isn't negligible,"
"But relying solely on it to confront Big Mom won't suffice!"
The Red-Haired Pirates present...
Shanks gazed skyward, his countenance grave.
He understood the transient nature of the current conflict.
Perhaps it was merely because Big Mom, Katakuri, and others weren't acquainted with the Vinsmoke family's combat style.
That's why they swiftly gained the upper hand.
Had they become accustomed, the tide of battle would have turned in an instant!
And Luffy and the others' escape plan would have crumbled...
[As expected, it didn't take long before Big Mom went berserk and bolted!]
[With just a couple of moves, Sanji's siblings were rendered incapacitated.
[Even Judge found himself flattened.]
[The Vinsmoke family's advanced technology is impressive, no doubt, but it falters against forces of nature like Big Mom!]
[Big Mom even began pummeling Castle-form Bege, causing him to spew blood incessantly.]
[Even amidst her taunts, she could only watch Luffy and his crew tremble in fear!]
[Who is Luffy?]
[Naturally, he couldn't abide such mockery, thus he charged forth!]
[This startled everyone. Was he truly prepared to take on Big Mom?]
[Luffy may be impetuous, but he's not foolish!]
[He's well aware of Big Mom's unfathomable strength.]
[So, without hesitation, he activated his Fourth Gear mode!]
[Then he unleashed his mightiest attack...the Great Ape King Gun!]
[This punch, brimming with terrifying force, collided with Big Mom head-on!]
[Big Mom even extended an arm, opting to engage Luffy with pure physical prowess...]
[In that instant, a wave of sheer power rippled outward!]
[The resulting shockwaves caused the entire island to tremble].
